Call for Papers

Graphics Interface (GI), May 7-9, 2014, will be held in Montreal, Quebec. This will be the 40th Graphics Interface conference. GI is the oldest continuously-scheduled conference in the field, and attracts high-quality papers on recent advances in interactive systems, human-computer interaction, and graphics, from around the world. GI 2014 will be held in conjunction with the Computer and Robot Vision 2014 and Artificial Intelligence 2014 conferences. Registration will permit attendees to attend any keynote or talk in the three conferences, which will be scheduled in parallel tracks. The conference will also include an awards banquet and a posters and demos session.

Accepted papers will be archived in the ACM Digital Library. The Michael A. J. Sweeney Award will be awarded at the conference to the best student papers in graphics and HCI. Authors of best papers and other selected papers will be invited to submit extended and revised manuscripts to be considered, with partial continuity of reviewing, for journal publication in a special section of Computers and Graphics.

All paper submissions are fully peer reviewed by at least two members of the program committee and two external reviewers. Papers have a maximum length of eight pages. If the contribution warrants it, a longer paper may be submitted; however, pages beyond eight are subject to page charges. Papers as short as four pages can be accepted.

Graphics Interface 2014 will have joint sessions for the graphics and HCI tracks. Topics of interest at GI include, but are not restricted to the following:

interaction techniques
novel user interfaces
quantitative and qualitative evaluations
computer-supported collaborative work
data and information visualization
haptic and tangible interfaces
assistive technologies
ubiquitous computing
usable security and privacy
aesthetic design
perception
augmented reality
real-time rendering
image based techniques
computational photography and imaging
non-photo realistic rendering
modelling for fabrication
geometric modelling
medical visualization
scientific visualization
physically based animation
character animation
fluid simulation
virtual reality

Authors must request that their submissions be handled by either the graphics or HCI sub-committee. In exceptional cases where significant overlap exists, a submission may be reviewed by members of both sub-committees.
